/**
 * Used to mark interfaces as exportable through the plugin system. <h1>Usage:</h1>
 * To mark an interface "ExampleService" as exportable, you must define the
 * following somewhere in your application: <code>
  public interface ExampleServiceComponent extends PluginComponent<ExampleService> {}
 * </code> The name of this interface
 * isn't relevant.In addition, this can be defined somewhere. It's not necessary
 * to define it next to the exportable interface.
